Costae Tetra - Moenkhausia Costae

The Costae Tetra is a small and attractive freshwater tropical fish, valued for its subtle colouring, shimmering body, and calm temperament. A peaceful schooling species, Costae Tetras are well suited to community aquariums where they contribute gentle movement and visual balance without disturbing other fish.

These tetras thrive when kept in groups, which encourages natural shoaling behaviour and helps them display their best colours. They adapt well to planted aquariums with open swimming space and benefit from stable water conditions. Their peaceful nature makes them compatible with other small, non?aggressive tropical species.

Costae Tetras are easy to care for and readily accept a varied diet of high?quality flakes, micro?pellets, and frozen foods. Their manageable size and gentle behaviour make them a good choice for both beginner and experienced aquarists looking to stock a harmonious tank.
